    James, My thermostat just went out. . but has been acting funny all summer... but never got over 190, ever. I first thought it may be my sender unit, but I noticed when going down a few mountain passes this month the engine temp would drop to 120 or lower, and would be at or around 190 going...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Combo fuel tank/tool box plumbing

    Gary, Nice filter setup. What is your transfer rate with the pump, and which brand pump did you use? I was initially going to use your exact setup, but I bought the same solenoid valve and it has been working since. However, I would like to install a mechanical pump for faster transfer...

    12 V air solenoid Check out a Grainger catalog. I think they have an on line catalog too. I was just there today (fluid power section) selecting a $20 solenoid for my air horns (Grainger# 6JJ52, Aro). You might have to check to see if the valve will work in a vacume Good Luck. Grainger

    Stoppin the thieves

    for 24valvers... The clutch cutoff seems easy to bypass. . if done under the dash. Howbout installing the cutout to the ECM power, or injetion pump power. These line would be harder to trace, as there is no clutch swich to show which wires were tampered with. Just use high quality sealed...

It would crank that no problem...
